Strict Neutrality.

LONDON, March 40-The Nicaraguan rep
resentative here sent 2 letter TO the Times,
in which he says: 1.-THE President OF Nicara-
qua has authorized me to deny the exist
ence of a treaty with the United States
STIMULATING that that country would control
the Nicaraguan canal, recently mentioned
in connection with the formation of a COM
Dany to build the canal. The treaty alluded
10 is doubtless that OF 1854, which iapsed be-
cause of the failure of the United States TO
ratify it. The Nicaraguan Government, in
granting any concession, will not omit any
means to secure the strictest neutrality for
The canal"
